Welcome Home She Said

I love living here! The place is spotless and my room has lots of space and more closet space then I can fill! I enjoy the food. But the best thing is the amazing staff. They are so friendly, I really feel at home here. The location is right off of the highway, you can't miss it and they have plenty of parking.

Solstice Bellingham has been a great fit for my mother

I would rate all of the categories as 5. My mother has settled in nicely and is happy with the facility. She especially likes the availability of outdoor spaces and a level , paved path so she can securely use her walker to take a walk independently. The place has a welcoming atmosphere when we visit. It was a good match for my mother. She is 97 with no major health concerns.

I searched in the area for a good community for my disabled sister. After visiting 7 communities, Solstice Bellingham stood out above all the other choices by a considerable margin. Not only did every staff member I met take pains to assure me that regardless of their title, they would help with any concern I or my sister had directly. The atmosphere was that of a family and residents were very welcoming and congenial. A real sense of community. I am completely confident that not only my sister will receive excelle

New Beginning

I like living here - enjoy interacting with others and the activities just. Wish the food was better - less carbs and more protein. I toured several places and this was the best option.
